[IAEP] Design for a.sl.o and sugarlabs branding/theme unity

[,Josh williams]

Hey David,

I have had a quick look at the markup and the CSS, but I haven't 
actually had a look at the PHP. I laughed when I saw the Mozilla guys 
had an IE style sheet, but then I figured they were probably just 
reusing code. I was actually wondering if I could have a local copy of 
the remora code or access to a development or testing environment at 
some point?

I also agree that we need a common branding for all of the sites, Gnome 
is a great example I think Mozilla and Ubuntu are good examples to. I 
think a splash page for www.sugarlabs.org built on WordPress or Drupal 
would be a really good idea also. It could explain the what the project 
is, have a download link to the latest version, link to the wiki, press 
release, news etc.

Cheers,

Josh
